Product details
Dassai Blue Type 50 Junmai Daiginjo Yamadanishiki Hot Sake is a refined expression from Dassai, celebrated worldwide for its dedication to precision rice polishing and uncompromising quality. Crafted exclusively from Yamada Nishiki—often referred to as the “King of rice varieties” for premium production—this Type 50 release highlights purity, elegance, and balance. Under the guidance of Asahi Shuzo Co., Ltd., Dassai Blue represents a modern evolution of traditional craftsmanship, focusing on meticulous milling and careful fermentation to achieve clarity and depth. Designed specifically to be enjoyed warm at approximately 122°F (50°C), this expression reveals a different dimension of flavor when gently heated, offering a smooth and expressive profile that stands apart from conventional chilled styles.
On the nose, inviting aromas of ripe pineapple and honeydew melon rise gracefully from the cup. The palate unfolds with layered notes of fresh pineapple, bright lemon zest, and sweet almond, creating a harmonious balance between fruit-forward vibrancy and soft richness. As it warms, subtle caramel nuances emerge, adding depth and roundness to the finish. The texture is silky and refined, with a lingering, gently sweet aftertaste that remains clean and polished. Dassai Blue Type 50 offers a beautifully structured and warming experience, showcasing the remarkable character of Yamada Nishiki rice when presented at its ideal serving temperature.
